How it feels

A methodical puzzle-like strategy game where you assemble and upgrade a squad of minions to gradually overcome waves of enemies.

What players say

Players praise the creative concept of collecting and using beaten minions across levels, with over 50 units and synergy mechanics. The game starts easy but grows fiendishly hard, though some find the core loop of picking units and fighting repetitive.
